A report in the current Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of Canada concludes that American data has understated the risk of miscarriage during amniocentesis. The paper quotes the authors as saying that the American findings are “misleading and should be interpreted with caution.” Story from the (Toronto, Canada) Globe & Mail here. The story sparked an impassioned public comment session, with newspaper readers debating the value of late-in-life pregnancies and the lives of people with disabilities. Link here.
